It's happened again. Someone is always wanting me to join some new online site. This how I have ended up being on Myspace, Facebook, Livejournal, and now Twitter. I'm not even sure why Twitter exists, can't I send people messages with any instant messaging program? Even Myspace has it's own status and mood bar now which is basically the same thing as Twitter.
